Overcast and cold ....

1st April 2024 (Monday)    09.00 .... The sky is overcast, but there is the odd hole in it that lets a


blink of sunshine through now and again.... usually somewhere else;  but it makes an interesting photograph.   The most noticeable change in the weather, from yesterday, is the temperature!   There's a frisky NE wind.... and it's cold.   Rain is forecast to move in from the South, in the afternoon.   

16.15   The change in the weather has been disappointing; but I had a 'major flap on' so braved the cold wind and went down to the beach with the camera;  even on cold grey days I begin to relax as soon as I start taking photographs. Light rain did begin to blow in the wind at one point but it never came to anything and ended up with a lot of interesting shots to play with this evening.

Ferry Road has been busy... presumably with people going back home after a mostly sunny weekend at Elie and Earlsferry.  I enjoyed the action on the golf course yesterday; that, for me was the best day of the holiday weekend.   I had planned to visit Alice today, but nearly had my 'nose' taken off trying to extricate the car from a tight parking space, so had a quick change of 'plan';  I hope to visit Alice tomorrow.


20.30    I've had a restful evening watching 'Father Brown' .... now I'm well ready to have a cuppa and do some work on the computer.                  I had to go out to the bucket a wee while ago;  my word the rain, which reached us about 16.00, is seriously heavy.... and now wet, windy and cold;  and forecast to be the same tomorrow, but the rain is to be 'lighter'.

22.45   The 'plan' is to visit Alice tomorrow (assuming I can extricate the car safely) and catch up with her Easter news.   The roads are going to be bad, with flooding in all the usual places .... and potholes will look like puddles; so will be a tricky drive.   Orf to make the 'orlicks.

6th October 2024 (Sunday)    "Happy Golden Wedding Anniversary"  to Brian and Moira". 09.00 .... All the Fife Weather cams are showing overcast skies.   The Anstruther cam looks the bleakest!..... the Lochgelly the least bleak.  The Easterly breeze has brought the weather in from the North Sea.... and  'sunny spells' are not mentioned in the weather forecast, but ... sometimes the sky looks promising!   It's a good day to be inside.  Luckily I, (and all the other guests), are celebrating Brian and Moira's Golden Wedding Anniversary in the Lindsay Room at Kinneuchar Castle. 10.30     It's still raining, but the sky looks promising now and again;  the sun might break though in the afternoon.  I had a walk round the patio in the light rain; very refreshing.    I'm having morrrrrrrrrrrning coffee before I start to get organised for Kinneuchar Castle. 20.30    We had a really pleasant family and f...

16th August 2024 (Friday)  08.30 ...It's a lovely morning but a layer of thin cloud is taking the Jackie. edge off the temperature so we have a chilly start to the day;  hopefully the sun will burn off the cloud to give us a sunny and warm(er) day soon.    The Auchnagatt 'troops' are expected to arrive about 10.30:  and I am organised .... and looking forward to seeing Jackie, Hazel, Catriona and Iain in one photograph.... a rare occurrence nowadays!  20.30 .... I got the photograph that I wanted... all four (soon to be five) of the Lawrie Family of 'Backhill of Inkhorn' (Auchnagatt) in one place!   It has been a most enjoyable day.  We had lunch at the very popular Cupar Garden Centre Restaurant (it was busy) followed by a browse round the garden centre:  the 'troops' did proper browsing:  I had quick browse followed by a catnap in the car.   The middle of the afternoon is my siesta time; and especially so after a good l...

6th August 2024 (Tuesday)    10.30 .... it's a beautiful morning, with a nice fresh breeze.... if only I Aldershot 1958. could go out on the bike!   Anyway... forget dreamin';  today is my appointment with the Consultant, at Queen Margaret Hospital (Dunfermline);.... and I'm hoping to find out what the 'plan' is.   Michael and Janice are out in the car.... shopping.   They should be back in about an hour or so.    I've tidied up the kitchen and will now have a cuppa while watching some of the action from Paris.  22.00    This is more like summer.... in fact I could get to like this weather.      Michael and Janice went up to Cupar in the morning, while I got myself organized  for the Queen Margaret appointment.   Michael and Janice arrived back with lunch, Fisher and Donaldson macaroni pies, with FD's for sweet.   We set off for Dunfermline in plenty of time and arrived with t...
